The people of Dibon go up to their temple to worship.
    They go to their high places to weep.
    The people of Moab cry over the cities of Nebo and Medeba.
All their heads are shaved.
    All their beards have been cut off.
In the streets they wear the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.
    On their roofs and in the market places
    all of them are crying.
They fall down flat with their faces toward the ground.
    And they weep.
The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out.
    Their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.
So the fighting men of Moab cry out.
    Their hearts are weak.

they all wail,(J)
    prostrate with weeping.(K)
Heshbon(L) and Elealeh(M) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(N)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.
